Double Fist

“Bass Reeves (July 1838 – 12 January 1910) was one of the first African Americans (possibly the first) to receive a commission as a Deputy U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi River. Reeves was an expert with rifle and pistol. During his long career Reeves had arrested over 3,000 felons and admitted having to shoot and kill fourteen outlaws in defending his life while making arrests.”
